Hi list,

I saw this in my logs:

Apr 29 14:58:08 mx postfix/smtpd[4880]: connect from
xxx.yyy.zzz[xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx]
Apr 29 14:58:09 mx postfix/smtpd[4880]: warning: valid_hostname: empty
hostname
Apr 29 14:58:09 mx postfix/smtpd[4880]: warning: malformed domain name
in resource data of MX record for somedomain.com:
Apr 29 14:58:09 mx postfix/smtpd[4880]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
xxx.yyy.zzz[xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx]: 450 4.1.8 <i...@somedomain.com>: Sender
address rejected: Malformed DNS server reply; from=<i...@somedomain.com>
to=<u...@example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<xxx.yyy.zzz>
Apr 29 14:58:09 mx postfix/smtpd[4880]: disconnect from
fxxx.yyy.zzz[xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx]

And:

$ host somedomain.com
somedomain.com has address yyy.zzz.xxx.yyy
somedomain.com mail is handled by 0 .

This looks like a Null MX record:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-delany-nullmx-00

If the domain owner declares that this domain never sends or recieves
email, then shouldn't postfix reject the above message with a permanent
error?

TIA,
Mikael Bak
